Briscoes St Lukes

Thank you to the staff member closest to the outside door Sunday afternoon (fair haired male) who tried so hard to find me the duvet I was looking for. No success but suggested we could go to Panmure or Henderson store or better still shop online. Which we did and the follow up has been great. Looking forward to receiving the parcel.
Love the St Lukes store, messy and comfortable bit like home really.

I do not know about the ‘normal’ Briscoes locations, but this outlet store is on and popping! On the hunt for a quality down duvet under $ 300.00, I came here on the recommendation of my new housemate. When I first walked in I was not impressed. It resembled a $ 2.00 store with no style, or quality products visible. Boy do I stand corrected.
The first row of bedding not only had exactly what I have been seeking, it also had alternative down, wool comforters as well as other man made materials. All for prices that will blow your mind! There are high thread count sheets for every budget and pillow so fluffy they’d make for an epic pillow fight.
Aside from bedding there is nearly everything one needs to set up a bathroom, laundry area and kitchen. Seems to me the only items missing from this place are washer/​dryers and bathtubs. It basically has all of the essentials needed to furnish and equip your home for comfort, at prices that will make you smile.

On 26^th Dec 13 my family went to Briscoe St Lukes Store did some shopping.
There was a box of soft mini ball marked as $ 9.99. The box was well sealed. In common sense, we take it as $ 9.99 for a box of mini ball.
After we paid for the money (there was no problem when we paid money at the counter), and ready to go out to the car park, the manager stand right beside the entrance who saw the box of ball in my hand and jumped out and asked me to display the receipt of the ball. Seems she has already prepared to do that.
After she saw the receipt, she said they have made a mistake. The ball should be $ 9.99 each instead of $ 9.99 a box. So she give me two options: 1. get a refund 2. pay the same price for each of the ball which is going to be a lot more expensive than the original price. So we are forced to refund the goods. And my son cried all the way back home on a boxing day.
After I went home, I went to Briscoe on line shop and did a search for similar mini ball. Surprisingly, smilar mini ball is sold at $ 2.00 each.
I understand people make mistakes, but if the manager can kindly spend 30sec check the price in the system and let us know the price is $ 2.00 rather than $ 9.99 each, I will definitely buy a few individual ones for my son.
I am not sure if this is a trick for stuff or stuff friends to get cheap deal. If normal people accidentally pick up that box, the stuff then jump out and check the receipt. The whole thing just seems ridiculous to me. The manager is so rude to us and I don’t think she is well trained or qualified for manager. The only explanation she gave to us was «People make mistakes and you need to live with it». During the whole conversation, she did not say any single word of «appologize» .
That was a terrible experience, i don’t think i will go to that store anymore.

I’m torn about this Briscoes. As far as the store goes it is a shambles. Stock everywhere, old store, bad layout, it’s a right mess for sure. The staff are not friendly, they either hate it there or work far too many hours to manage pulling off a fake smile. But, the reason I am torn, is you will get bargain galore here. We came here to get a gift for my friend’s wedding as she registered at Briscoes, and lucky for us every single thing on her list was on sale. We managed to look like the most generous people in the world, while still maintaining our cheapskate lifestyles. So, if you don’t mind a messy shop with unpleasant staff, but you like bargain, St Lukes Briscoes is for you.

Although this claims to be an outlet store, I’ve never seen anything to be discounted further than any other Briscoes stores, so not quite sure what’s going on there. Nevertheless, this store, tucked away in the backwaters of St Lukes, is a great destination for cheap homewares. It’s a relatively small store by Briscoes standards, but I’ve never had any problems finding what I need and, perhaps, it makes the shopping experience even easier/​better that it’s not a giant hyper-​store.
There is on-​site parking and although it can get busy over the weekends I’ve never had to wait for a park.
I recently called the store to check if an item was in stock and the store manager was very friendly and helpful, even though at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon he was probably way too busy to be talking to me, and he checked the stock, processed my order and took my delivery details over the phone without the blink of an eye. Impressive.
My final note is this: don’t EVER buy anything full price from Briscoes! There’ll be a sale just around the corner, I promise you.

I was under the impression this was an outlet store (as it is so out of the way) but the Briscoes website doesn’t have it listed as such, so I must have been wrong.
Anyhow last year, when winter struck I needed another blanket for my bed. Off to this Briscoes I went, and I found a Queen sized, coffee coloured, feather down blanket for $ 80. I think originally it was definitely priced over $ 100 (maybe even up around $ 140).
This has seen me through winter and looks great on my bed. I’m really pleased with my purchase.
If you are in the area and need some new things for your home, I’d recommend you stop and look at this Briscoes.

I like shopping at Briscoes because you can get just about anything you need for your home at an affordable price. This store is off the beaten track and you need to know where you are going as it’s not with the rest of the shops at St Lukes. There seems to be permanent sales on at Briscoes — every time I go, there’s often up to 50% off a lot of the products. Despite the fact that it’s quite cheap, it’s not downbeat or anything and all the household products are of sound quality. We bought some psychedelic style mugs here when we first came to New Zealand and everybody who comes to our house compliments them. We came to this store on Saturday as we needed a hair dryer. There was a good selection and they were all reduced — the one we got in the end originally cost $ 80 but it was reduced to $ 30. We also bought a good quality rugsack — again reduced from $ 90 to $ 40. They have some tasteful stuff for your kitchen and do good deals on espresso machines. Overall, if you want something for your home and want it at a good price, Briscoes is the place to go.
